Hello All,

My cousin and his family have made the difficult decision to rehome their family dog after a bite incident with one of their young children. If anyone is interested or has any resources on trainers or rescues who may be willing to take him, please feel free to respond to this email. Obviously they are aware it is a bit of a long shot to find the perfect fit. Below is a bit about Trapper in their words:


Trapper is a 7 year old shepherd/retriever mix with a big heart and a love for squirrel watching, frisbee/ball chasing, walks, chewing on bones, and laying outside. We are looking for a child-free home where he can be someone's loyal buddy. He is sweet, food-motivated, and loves spending time with his person. He can do well with other dogs after a slow, proper introduction, but does not do well with cats. It is necessary that he be in a child-free, adult-only home as he recently had a bite incident with our young child. A perfect home would consist of a fenced yard for squirrel-watching and frisbee, a patient adopter to give him structure, and time for play and companionship.

An adorable and one-of-a-kind donation in the name of SCKC to raise money for the Humane Society of Pikes Peak.

The very talented “Storm Sisters” Rachel, Amanda, and Jessica made these beautiful hand-made wooden boxes and with the help SCKC Secretary, Laura Griffin they were filled with toys and free training classes at our own Training Center.

These should bring in BIG Bids at the upcoming Whisker Brunch to raise money for our shelter animals this November 15th!
